Like scratchy old vinyl in the discount bargain bin
I'm used
And I'm used to you, I'm used to you
I am damaged
I've got baggage
I am damaged goods
I've got baggage, I am damaged, I'm no good
Wanna' walk forward with my shoulders back
My head held high
Not looking down at the eggshells on the ground
Make a promise to me
Something that I can believe
Just give me something
Something I can hold onto
And I'll hold on to you
I'm happy
Don't it sound convincing?
Happy
I'm happy
I'm happy
I'm fooling nobody

Baxter Hill

I drive around
I've been so down, down
Need to get away
Need a little escape from life
Maybe my friends were right
Maybe I could have tried a little harder
To meet you halfway
Then maybe you would have stayed for a while
I drive over the Baxter Hill, I can see your house
And it makes me smile
Makes me smile
Find sympathy
Try forgiving me
You've been on my mind
And I'm hoping to find I've been on yours
I drive over the Baxter Hill, I can see your house
And it makes me smile
Makes me smile
Smile
I drive over the Baxter Hill, I can see your house
I drive over the Baxter Hill, I can see you

The Lonely King
03:47

|
Seem to let strangers in
More than you do for your so-called friends
You set fire to the bridge
Ten years pass before you regret it
And now you need 'em
Yeah you need em' 'cause you're back in the game
You cross your fingers, hoping that they'll still remember your name
And so you throw a coin in the well
You make a wish you don't blow it all to hell
The way you always do
Each time opportunity comes knockin' for you
And now you're pacing
Yeah you're pacing back and forth in your brain
It's so sweet and it's so close that you can taste that fame
And you believe that you're the king
And you're looking down below
You wonder, "Where did everybody go?"
So everybody sing to the lonely king
Up on self-appointed throne
Wondering why he'll always be alone
And now you're trying to reach out to those who retained their fame
The ones who did it right while you were blowing it all away
Blowing it all away
He'll be alone
The lonely king
Sing sing to the lonely king

A Reason To Stay
03:17

When I said, "Hey there, stranger"
You cracked a little smile
I think we both knew the bit of truth that's existed for a while
When I said, "Hey there, babe"
And you said, "I love you"
I think we both knew forces of habit force us to say untruths
And we both know that it's not the same
And we both know no one is to blame
And I'm not sure there's much left to say
But I know I'm having second thoughts
And I'm needing you to give me a reason to stay
When you came over last night
I felt like such a fool
I didn't want thing to work out, the way they tend to do
When you come over next time
Maybe things will be fine
But I'm not sure I wanna' live my living reading between your lines

Lucy is the kind of gal
Who's just grown tired of being let down
She's looking for a better way to spend her time
'Cause lately Lucy's found
That she's got so much more to go around
Her friends say it's time she started thinking like a guy
They say she's gotta' toughen up
So she should get rough, down and dirty
And so she walked down to the fashion district
Bought a mini skirt that barely fit
Put on her face and fixed her hair real nice
Singing, "Ladies, hide your men
Because I'm on the prowl again
And I'm looking for a good way to spend my time"
She says, "I've gotta' toughen up
So I should get rough, down and dirty"
Don't you know that it won't go away
If you don't look inside yourself first and make it better?
But Lucy was let down
So Lucy, she broke down
Lucy was let down again
Lucy wants to be
Just like the girls on the covers of magazines
They seem to know how to make things go their way
If she could just be statuesque
That hardened marble would shield her chest
She'd just have fun
'Cause who needs love anyway?
She says, "I've gotta' toughen up
So I should get rough, down and dirty"
Better, oooh
Lucy, you'll be fine again

Song For Adam

Baby, don't you mind what they say
Because they're gonna' make shit up anyway
If it's not about us, it'll be about someone else
So won't you come, won't you come along with me
And there'll never be a need for worrying
And they can put it where the sun don't ever dwell
Ain't gonna' let nobody bring us down
We ain't gonna' let nobody bring us down
We ain't gonna' let nobody bring us down
Come and take a brush, we'll paint the whole town red
We don't have to pay attention to anything they've said
'Cause it's not about them, it's only you and me
So do that thing that makes my fingertips go numb
You've got my heart a-ba-ba-beating like a ba-bass drum
Let's get together, let's make that brand new beat
One day, when the silly rumor mill subsides
They're all gonna' realize that we were right
And they'll forget all about this battle line
So baby, don't you mind what they say
Because it's really none of their damn business anyway
And it will work itself all out with time

Crossroads

Don't care if I win
Don't care if I lose
I'm gonna' sit here 'til someone makes me move
The same things that once moved me
Are coming back again
I sit here and I watch day out and in
All I need is a swift kick in the ass
All I need is a push to move passed
All I need is for someone to tell me what to do
Or I might stay this way for good
It's another burn and run
And then I'm on to the next one
At least that's what they say I'm good at
I'm sorry, I lied when I said
I'd love you until the end
But you'll always love yourself more than that
Used to not need anyone to tell me what to do
I made my own
I made my own way, they could all see
Used to not need anyone to tell me where to go
I take my time
But I know I'll get there eventually

That evening the air was different
And she wondered what for
They went walking down the sidewalk
Hand in hand just like they had before
And she looked at him
Trying to remember the feeling
Of the lonely nights so long ago
But that all changed
What made it so?
Maybe it was when
When he said, "I know what to do
I'm hopping on a plane, I'm coming to meet you
They might think I'm crazy
And maybe that's a little true
but," he said, "I'm coming to you"
That evening had something
More than any other evening could bring
And he reached into his pocket
And he pulled out a ring
And he looked at her
Trying hard to remember
The lonely nights before she came into his life
What made it change?
Maybe it was when
When she said, "I know what to do
I might miss the West Coast, but the West Coast don't have you
We'll build a home, adopt a dog
And have some vegan food"
Yeah she said, "I'm coming to you"
This evening is different
From any other evening before
And she looks at him
At he looks at her
And they hear each other say
Yeah they say, "I know what to do
You've given me your heart, I've given mine to you
Don't know what lies ahead, but it's okay if it's with you"
Yeah they say, "I'm going with you"

Over Now
03:23

You like to say
That your heart is all mine
But, babe, we've been on shaky ground
For such a long, long time
And you like to say
It was a temporary lapse
Well, if that's the way your heart works
Baby, you can have it back
Although we gave love a good run, it's over now
We really made a mess of everything
And we really don't know how
And there's a guy
And I think he's kind of sweet
He's been hanging out at the bar
I frequent every week
And I might let him
Sweep me off my feet
But if you had done your job, sweetheart
I wouldn't have the need
Although we gave love a good run, it's all gone now
And you can take what you want from it
You know I'm leaving anyhow
Although we gave love a good run, it's over now
We really made a mess of everything
And I really don't know how
But I'll be fine
Baby wait and see
I'll be fine
So don't you worry about me
Baby, don't you worry about me
No babe, I really don't know how
Darling, really don't know how

They'll tell you what you wanna' hear
But reality, honey it don't come near
To what you say or what you do
You think you'll be a superstar again
But not like this
No not like that
Pushing everybody around
I failed to save you from your own demise
So I gracefully bowed out when it was time
And I don't care, it's what you do
You go and be a superstar
If you can
But not with me
No not like that
Pushing everybody down
They say I'm dumb, I should have stuck with it
Oh, but I know they could never know the half of it
And I don't mind what they say
No, I don't need no superstar
No way
Superstar
